...What about this Start/Stop business? I believe we will see that in the new V-6, perhaps even in the I-4?...

How would that work as far as sound? Dead silence at a complete stop, or maybe some sort of artificial engine sound while dead-stopped? My guess is it will have some sort of sound full time....

The CTS Vsport has engine exhaust and intake sounds piped in through the stereo speakers when you put in in Track Mode. It's kind of cool. With that said, on a Camaro, less is more. I think I'd rather hear the actual motor - unenhanced.

I can tell you how it is in my 328i, dead silence.

Probably b/c it is a Caddy and has good sound insulation which the Camaro will not have.

I read VW put a separate resonator thing right against the outside of the firewall and didn't really tell anyone. I can imagine that would sound and feel pretty realistic compared to sounds through the cabin audio system. Still, if the engine isn't running right, I know I'd want to be able to hear any problems rather than have them drowned out with some cosmetic noise.

I think our friends at Ford did quite a study on all this when it was added to some of their models....And I believe part of the irony was that without the masking/enhancing of engine sounds, the "natural" or "genuine" sounds were what sounded like something was wrong or wasn't running right...

I'm not familiar with them at all, but I've heard these new, smaller, high-tech engines make unfamiliar and weird sounds that drivers are not used to hearing in an engine that is actually running correctly and has no mechanical issues...

Definitely some truth to this. The tapping sound made by DI makes many think the lifters are bad. It took me some time to get used to on my first DI car.

But it would be cool to have one sitting in your back yard.
